8.一WhatdoyouthinkofBetty?

---Sheisalovelygirl,thoughshebenaughtysometimes.

A.shouldB.must

C.needD.can

参考答案：

D

考查情态动词。A.should应该；想必会，理应；B.must必须，一定；C.情态动词need,

通常用在疑问句、否定句中，意为〃必须〃；C.can能，会,可能；句中描述的Betty应该是

一个可爱但有时会有些调皮的女孩，结合句意，此处应该是填一个表示推测的情态动词，

can用于肯定句，表示理论上存在的可能性，所以适用于本句；should,must都可以表示

推测，但在这里不合语意。故选C。

参考答案：

8.B9.C10.A11.A

这是一篇说明文。文章通过介绍欧洲和美国地区不同的冰箱和冰块发展情况，解释了为什

么现在美国人普遍喜欢饮用冰镇饮料，而欧洲人通常饮用常温饮料。

8.推理判断题。根据文章第二句"IntheU.S.,we'vecreatedfridgesthatgiveyoucoldiceatthe

pressofabutton,butinBritaintheytypicallyservetheirtapwaterwarm//在美国，我彳门已经

发明了可以一键制冰的冰箱，但在英国，他们通常提供温暖的自来水。这里在说美国是用

了we,说英国是用了they,可推测作者应该是个美国人，故B项正确。

9,推理判断题。根据文章第二、三段大意，19世纪时期，大部分美国家庭已经拥有了早期

的冰箱，北美地区的制冰业发展已相当成熟，并且高价在英国售卖。那时候的英国富人流

行在饮料里加冰，但这种做法最终过时了，主要是由于冰太贵。即便后来英国家庭也都开

始拥有了冰箱，英国人也没有再喜欢往饮料里加冰块。可知，欧洲人之所以喝常温饮料不

是因为他们没有冰箱，不是因为他们有温热的自来水，也不是因为他们买不起冰，而是由

于19世纪的经历，后来他们习惯了不加冰的饮料，即便有冰箱，也没再喜欢往饮料里加

冰块，故C项正确。

11.主旨大意题。文章开头“HaveyouevernoticedhowAmericansfilluptheirentireglasswith

iceandthenpourtheirbeverage（饮品）in,butEuropeanstaketheirdrinksatroomtemperature?

你有没有注意到美国人在整个玻璃杯里装满冰块，然后倒入饮料，但欧洲人喝常温饮

料?〃，该句点出主题，指出美国人喜欢冰镇饮料，而欧洲人不喜欢，接下来的二三段里，

讲述了这一不同〃传统〃的由来，可知A项正确。
